Hi has anyone used Scumm VM with their Universal? I've run into a few problems.
If I use the latest version 8.0 every game I run crashes out with an audio error after 2 or 3 seconds of gameplay.
If i go back and try 7.1 The game runs ok the first time then when I run it the second time I get an error in the config file, and I have to softreset the device. This also cause a second problem where I can no longer see the clock in the title bar at all, and half of the signal strength indicator is covered up by blank space. Anyone know how to fix this and get Scumm VM working properly? Thanks
It works for me, but if I save or load a game, the bottom icons disappear - apprently you double click the top of the screen to get the icons back, that's my only problem so far, apart from forgetting how I solved Monkey Island 2 and Fate of Atlantis....

Just Great
Can some please pose vids of snes emu running dk3, sfa3, Mario kart, metroid killer instinct
Cps2hd running sfa2/3 and marvel vs capcom.
PLEASE! Just want to see the speed
I no longer have my other phone to record video, but I've run the SNES emulator, and I can say it's definitely full speed. Honestly, with the specs of the Nexus One, there's no way the emulation would skip a beat.
Unfortunately, onscreen controls have not been.. perfected yet for the N1. :/

How are the games playing out without multitouch & hardware buttons?
i picked up nesoid and snesoid, but i am at a loss for ROM installs.
1. I have no idea what the file type is that is recognized by these 2 programs
2. I made a ROMs folder on my card, but whenever i try to switch to that folder using the 'load ROM' option, it says the folder i created doesn't exist. does this mean i have to dump everything to the cards root folder? why won't it switch to the right folder?
3. I can find ROM sites through google, but again, referring to my first point, I don't know what file type I should be putting on the phone, or where.
I have all of yongzh's emulators, and all of them run excellent. The SNES and GBA ones are the toughest of the consoles, and have a bit of audio slowdown. But otherwise, they are all perfect.
As for the key controls, depends on the console. There are a few keys that are usable, even if they are software keys. You can map console keys to the Search, Back, Volume Up, Volume Down, and Trackball Press buttons. Consoles with few buttons, like the SMS, NES, and GBC, run without problems. Consoles with more buttons have more trouble, culminating with the SNES, which has to leave some buttons unmapped. Still, they are all very playable, and I play FFVI on the SNES emulator with no problems and a grin on my face. ^_^
Hopefully multitouch development will render this problem moot.
They are a lot easier to play control wise on my G1 but they play beautifully graphics wise on the Nexus, like Ashtear said it's just a matter of the developers implementing multitouch now.
still doesn't tell me how to address my issues.
file type?
where put it?
never mind. got it.
nesoid reads .nes files.
snesoid reads .smc files
so...i got it going. however, seems like, at least on the nesoid, i can't simultaneously use the direction pad and a button makes for difficult gameplay, since so many things require being able to move/shoot or move/jump :/

yeah, in answer to this question, it blows. mario kart you can pick whether to go, or to steer, not both.
ok someone try cps2hd please with street fighter alpha 2
unfortunately, as the soft buttons are on the same capacitive screen, they can't be touched as the screen is being touched. The most fun I've been able to have is playing gradius on snesoid using flip screen mode, the trackball fo d-pad and vol up and down for a and b. it's not great.
The Developer of GameBoid should have his Nexus One by now, he said when he got he would work on multi-touch.
anyone tried the cps2 emu now?
can't you use the trackball as the d-pad?
WiiController
If you have a Wii controller laying around you can use a free app called "WiiController" instead of the on screen controls.
Makes gaming on my N1 a dream...
does cps2hd support the wiimote?
The only real way to play emulators on the Nexus one you have to:
1) play in landscape
2) put the virtual d-pad and buttons at diagonally opposite corners
This gets around the 15mm axis fusing problem the Nexus One has, but it's still not perfect. You can do running jumps in Super Mario World, for instance, but you're moreso fat fingering one response to hit two buttons rather than having 3 separate inputs so it's very unreliable.
I have SuperGNES and Snesoid, and I'd recommend the former because if you try a running jump in Snesoid it releases the y button when you release b. To have this make sense, if you're on Yoshi and you do a running jump, he sticks his tongue out when you let go of the jump because the Y button gets 'pressed' again. Far as I can tell, this doesn't happen on SuperGNES.
Just my experience. I wouldn't count on Froyo fixing it.
anyone try cps2hd yet?
Ok so I was getting fed up with most of my favourite games not working these being the likes of Can Knockdown 1&2, Hungry MonstR < AMAZING!!!, Guerrilla Bob < AMAZING TOO and Qbism HD, etc...
The problem was that they where just going to the loading screen and playing music and either taking eternities to load or just crashing after a long wait.
What to do?
So if any games do this just press the power button to sleep screen and then press it again to wake, now the game works
I know this is something simple that most advanced users or even noob users know to do but for others that don't know this it's for you!
Guide lol

***Also if this is a repost of some kind just delete it as I did a search and couldn't find anything.***
it actually works, I tried this with guerrilla bob... NICE
Does it work with Reckless Racing (full)?
for can knockdown, i open it, once the title screen comes up, press home, and go back into the program and it's at the main menu.
Hello could someone please tell me the best PSX emulator for the Xperia Play and give detailed instructions on setting it up so that it runs smoothly? I have tried one, FPse, but the sound does not work properly. psx4droid doesn't work at all [the latest version 3.0.6,] it just keeps asking me to force close when I try to load a rom. Please give the name of the emulator and the version and how to set it up for the Xperia Play.
the best emulator so far is FPSe, check on the Apps & Themes section, there is a sticky with all playable roms.
FPse.
Mine works perfect. No sound or framerate choppiness at all.
How did you set up FPse ? Mine has poor sound, it doesn't seem to be playing all the sound only some parts.
Solved the sound issues. So in FPse i went into "system" and unchecked Mdec Acceleration, Gte Acceleration and HLE mode. Now I hear all the audio though at some points the audio slows down a bit.

I have -
Country - USA (i live in the UK though but i d/l USA games. This might make a difference to smoothness as the timing of the games is 50 mhz or 60 mhz and could account for some choppy sound)
Mdec - On
Gte - On
Fast Booting - On
HLE - Off
Boost Mode - Off
No Sound - Off
Spu Sync - Off
Framelimiter - On
Frameskip - None
Screen Filtering - Off
Screensize - Full Screen
Fast Overlay - Off
Screen Orientation - Landscape (turning off auto in theory could speed emulation up)
Print fps - Off
Invert colors - Off
Some games didnt work very well. Tony Hawks 2 had very glitchy graphical errors (or might of been THPS 1, cant remember), and Colin Mcrae 2 grinded to a halt.
Here is what i have tried though -
Time Crisis (touch screen as light gun, dam awesome)
Demolition Derby
Rampage Universal Tour
Point Blank (touch screen as light gun, dam awesome)
Strider 2
Die Hard Trilogy
All of them run flawlessly. No graphical glitched. Now sound stuttering. (and i mean none at all, not even a tiny hiccup).
I have rooted my phone, taken away lots of bloatware. Maybe this helps, maybe not.
N64 emulator sound skips for me alot. fpse none though.
Hey man mine is rooted also, you said you took off bloatware, could you go into detail? I want to take off stuff but I do not want to "brick" the phone because I don't know how I would get it back working.
Check out this thread for removing bloatware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046699
Man I don't think it's actually possible to get this damn emulator playing the sound properly, it keeps slowing down messing up the sounds. sucks man.
Sorry to bump an old thread..
But does the phone need to be rooted to work with emulators - to eventually play psx games ?
and what is the actualy process on loading these old school games to the xperia play?
Especially looking forward to colin mcrae..

Thanks
No.
No root is needed for emu. In phone .it is just a normal app..

No you don't need to be rooted.
If you're looking to use FPSe, here's how to get playing your games:
1.) Buy and install FPSe.
2.) Open up the app and it will ask you to load a BIOS. Google is your one and only friend when searching for the PSX BIOS.
3.) After that, you can load your game. So rip your own .iso from games you own. Or again, Google is your friend for this.
4.) Then you can load the game and stay playing.
You might have to change a few settings to get the game and emulator performing better, that's basically trial and error.
I have been very happy with my Nexus 7 since I got it. One major problem I am having is lag. I think my tablet has a hardware issue. Games like Riptide GP should be silky smooth with this hardware, but my game lags every 10-15 seconds. It drops like 5 frames and then is back to normal for another few seconds. It's not only with games though, it happens when I am scrolling down web pages. Even just news articles with no flash content and only 1 picture lag. At first I thought I was expecting too much from this device, but after watching some YouTube reviews it is clear that my device isn't as snappy as others.
Most UI interactions like swiping through apps are fine, but scrolling through my email quickly makes my device stutter for a second.
So is anybody else noticing this? Do you thinks it really is a hardware problem of will a software update fix it?
Been smooth all around so far. Don't own that game and haven't had issues with any web pages I've tried so far. Want to list a specific url that is extra laggy to try and replicate your problem.
It's not web page specific. It's any web page that I can scroll on (all webpages lol). Try reading a Wikipedia article. wait for the page to fully load then try to scroll from top to bottom in one swipe. Does it stutter of lag at all? Mine does 95% of the time. It doesn't make the tablet unusable, but its a little annoying considering my HTC thunderbolt is smoother most of the time. And project butter is supposed to stop all this from happening.
I'm assuming you're on stock 4.1.1 and nothing weird eating up background resources, then yeah, I'd take it back and exchange it. (I tried a few different wiki pages just to see and they were all smooth sailing for me)
Yeah I am on stock (4.1.1) I even rooted and flashed a custom ROM to see if that would fix it. It didn't. Thanks for testing for me. It may be hard to return to GameStop but I'll call them up.
